In recent years, the application prospects of high-precision MEMS gyroscopes have been shown to be very broad, but the large temperature drift of MEMS gyroscopes limits their application in complex temperature environments. In response to this, we propose a method that combines mode reversal and real-time multiple regression compensation to compensate for the temperature drift of gyroscope bias. This method has strong adaptability to the environment, low computational cost, the algorithm is online in real time, and the compensation effect is good. The experimental results show that under the temperature cycle of -20~20 °C and the temperature change rate of 4 °C/min, the method proposed in this paper can reduce the zero-bias stability from about 27.8°/h to 0.4527°/h, and the zero-bias variation is reduced from 65.88°/h to 1.43°/h. This method improves the zero-bias stability of the gyroscope 61-fold and the zero-bias variation 46-fold. Further, the method can effectively suppress the zero-bias drift caused by the heating of the gyroscope during the start-up phase of the gyroscope. The zero-bias stability of the gyroscope can reach 0.0697°/h within 45 min of starting up, and the zero-bias repeatability from 0 to 5 min after startup is reduced from 0.629°/h to 0.095°/h.
